Hi

Your code is sending HTML email and you have the IsBodyHtml property properly set so I am not sure why you think it is plain text. What I have noticed is that other than the inclusion of <br> tags, you are not using any other HTML markup which might be why you think it is plain text.

As a test, add some markup to your text, for example, change your first line to mail.Body = "<b>Thank you for your suggession</b> " & "<br />" and test it. You should then see that the email has the first line in bold.

Some other comments, your <br> tags should be <br /> (i.e. they are self closing).

Also, I would recommend using a StringBuilder to build your message, especially if the content of your email is going to be quite large as this has performance benefits.
